Ezekiel 4:12-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² You shall eat it as a barley cake, having baked it in their sight over human ^(A)dung.” ¹³ Then the Lord said, “Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread ^(B)unclean among the nations where I will banish them.” ¹⁴ But I said, “^(C)Ah, Lord ^[a]God! Behold, I have ^(D)never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what ^(E)died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any ^(F)unclean meat ever entered my mouth.” ¹⁵ Then He said to me, “See, I will give you cow’s dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread.”
